Notes About The Poem

Fern

Fern and her twin sit beside the small creek
In quietness they wait under the shade trees
At the base of the woodsy, rocky, steep peaks
The wet bubbles tickle, Fern sways with the breeze 

A cooler place even in the heat of summer
Where they flourish in stability
How Fern longs to be an uprooted number
No longer living in tranquility

They're rumors floating on the stream this day
Of life in the city after sunset
Heterogeneous living with play
A life so different from the outset

Fern is tied, rooted, and bound to the land
One hope is to release youth to life grand

Crimson flashes past from under the rock ledge Brook trout happily claim this slice of Heaven Moss, clinging to boulders, rejoice in fresh air A fine mist nourishes the sweet green ferns

I hope you may finish soon as I am betting this will be a super fine sonnet judging by the very fine start my friend... Smooth and gentle to start...
